Why the 76ers can cover

The 76ers suffered their biggest loss since March 12th on Sunday. They fell victim to a painful 125-99 defeat at the hands of the Clippers. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Philadelphia in its matchups with Los Angeles: it has now lost three in a row.

However, the Sixers did manage a 113-98 win over the Nets in their previous outing, and rookie guard Jared McCain had 30 points in the victory. McCain is the current favorite to win NBA Rookie of the Year honors, averaging 16.6 points per game, and he’s scored at least 18 points in each of his last nine games. See which team to pick here.

Why the Rockets can cover

On Tuesday, the Rockets needed a bit of extra time to put away the Timberwolves. They managed a 117-111 victory over Minnesota. The success was a return to things as normal for Houston, which in its previous outing suffered a shocking 104-98 upset defeat to Portland.

The Rockets’ win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Alperen Sengun, who dropped a triple-double on 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists. Another player making a difference was Fred VanVleet, who dropped a double-double on 27 points and 11 assists. See which team to pick here.
